WICHITA (AP) -- For most of the last decade, an anonymous man has made it his mission to leave lime-green bicycles parked throughout Wichita for anyone to use.

"Bike Man" works with the Bicycle X-Change, a local bicycle shop, to supply the bikes around the city. Riders are advised to just hop on a bike and then leave them on a main street when they're done.

According to The Wheelman bicycle organization there was a bicycle manufacturer in Wichita by the name of A. M. Carr Bicycle Works. They were in operation from 1895-1896.
